Popis: Because Fontan circulation does not have a subpulmonary ventricle, the preload is limited. In Fontan circulation with extracardiac conduit, the size of conduit could be an important factor in determining the preload. We compared exercise capacity with each conduit size and tried to search for optimal conduit size in Fontan circulation. We reviewed the medical record of 677 patients with Fontan circulation. Patients who had other type Fontan circulation (Kawashima, atriopulmonary, lateral tunnel), SpO2
